ATEN KN1000A Single Port KVM-over-IP Switch

ATEN’s KN1000A Single Port KVM-over-IP Switch provides access and control ‘over-IP’ for conventional KVM switches and servers that do not have built-in over-IP functionality. It allows system operators to monitor and access computers from remote locations for ‘down to the BIOS-level’ troubleshooting, using standard Web browsers or Windows and Java-based application programs, without the need to be onsite for constant IT maintenance. In addition, the KN1000A supports out-of-band access in case the LAN goes down, with external modem support as backup.

To help manage and control widely distributed servers efficiently from a remote console, a built-in, single-port power switch provides remote power management of a server connected locally, allowing the user to turn a server on or off, and reboot it. In addition, an ATEN PDU unit can be added to manage the power status of even more devices. The KN1000A also provides serial console management over the internet which can remotely control serial console devices such as network switches.

The KN1000A makes it easy to work on many tasks simultaneously, featuring a unique LUC (Laptop USB Console) port for quick KVM access via a laptop, user-friendly OSD, virtual media functionality without additional cables and video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.

The KN1000A’s Virtual Media function allows the user to perform file transfers, system diagnostic testing, software patches and application installations, all from the remote console. There is no need to physically mount an optical drive directly at the server to perform data related tasks. The user can conveniently troubleshoot and resolve OS and BIOS-level problems from any remote location.
